The Community of Nova Acadia is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Mitzi Gerowitz with an iron fist, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, absence of drug laws, and labour-free parental leave. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 5.445 billion Acadiaks are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cascadia. The average income tax rate is 99.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Acadian economy, worth a remarkable 1,191 trillion YS a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 218,844 YS, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Families are left homeless as entire suburbs are bulldozed on the whim of tribal chiefs, Nova Acadia's citizens often wander into each other's homes, it's a marvellous night for a moon dance as the sparks on your home start to rise, and census workers struggle to account for the rapidly increasing number of citizens to tabulate. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nova Acadia's national animal is the Acadian Seal, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Sealism.

Nova Acadia is ranked 2,353^rd in the world and 1^st in Kelios for Most Developed, scoring 97.84 on the Human Development Index.
